A 1969 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures 26 3/4" x 39" [68 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) John Steinbeck's East of Eden, the classic 1955 Elia Kazan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) California World War I (WWI) era romantic love triangle family relationship melodrama ("John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden' is a story of explosive passions and Elia Kazan has made it into a picture of staggering power!"; "Sometimes you can't tell who's good and who's bad!..."; "Elia Kazan's explosive production of John Steinbeck's 'East of Eden'"; "The new hit- The biggest hit- From the Academy Award Director of 'On the Waterfront,' Elia Kazan!"; "Of what a girl did - what a boy did - of ecstasy and revenge..."; "Warner Bros. present it in an intimate new use of CinemaScope and Warnercolor"; adapted from the classic novel by John Steinbeck) starring Julie Harris, James Dean (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "In his very first picture - A very special star!"), Raymond Massey, Burl Ives, Richard Davalos, Jo Van Fleet (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Lois Smith, and Timothy Carey. Note that there is an unusual element to this movie, which is that Elia Kazan had Warner Bros. buy the rights to this classic novel, and then he essentially junked around 90% of it, focusing on a small section of the book. However, Steinbeck had no hard feelings about this, especially because Kazan persuaded him to take a percentage of the profits of the movie as partial payment, and that proved very lucrative to Steinbeck, and the two became very good friends and neighbors!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had extra horizontal folds and it had tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold. It had separation near the middle of the top horizontal fold and someone put a piece of tape on the back of that separation that bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was backed onto a thin linen with no excess on the left and right. A slight attempt at restoration was performed. Unfortunately, after it was backed, the poster was very roughly handled, and it acquired many creases throughout, both in the linen and in the poster itself. It also acquired a 4" vertical razor cut in the bottom left corner, both in the poster and in the linen, but only blank white paper was affected. If I owned this poster, I would have it removed from the thin linen and properly backed, and it would look great, but bear in mind its defects and this expense before bidding on it.
